Chapter 353

Zhang Zhou didn't speak in a hurry, let alone drive them away. Instead, he calmly looked at the people gathered around him. Yan Xinxin and other squires stopped talking, but refused to step back and look at him.

At this time, the Quartermaster who heard the news crowded into the crowd and gave a gift to Zhang Zhou.

"General, or we'll recover..."

"No!" Zhang Zhou shook his head blandly.

Yan Xinxin wanted to say something, but Zhang Zhou raised her hand and stopped her.

Zhang Zhou looked around at the people around him and said clearly: "I didn't do this because I was dignified, let alone because I didn't know I was hungry, but to tell you that if I could persist in this situation and survive to the end, everyone who refused Beiguan had no reason not to!"

Boosting the morale of the army is a way, but it is not a means to solve everything. There are those who can persist in forbearance; There are also people who are irritable and ignore it. For such people, we must set a bottom line, and the bottom line is himself!

He is a noble Lord, rich and invincible. He refuses to be the leader of Beiguan. He also takes into account many tasks. If he can persist at a lower supply level, there is no reason for others not to persist!

If there are still dissatisfied, those who want to make trouble and those who dare to complain, there is only one way, which is also the most direct, cold-blooded and effective way - killing!

On the eighth day, finally, two guys with stomachs and no brains complained loudly in an attempt to incite emotions. As a result, they were caught by the patrolling soldiers and pushed to the square to ask Zhang Zhou how to send them. Zhang Zhou didn't ask a word and killed them directly!

There is no one to complain or hold grievances for them, because there are Zhang Zhou's standards! In full view of the public, my body is getting thinner and thinner without any fraud! Even if it's really hard to endure, you have to be convinced!

Generals, especially those on the front line, are the guiding signs of soldiers. They can't take the lead and set a good example. How can they all expect their subordinates to have high consciousness? Show indomitable?

Zhang Zhou is also uncomfortable, but his duty is on him. He can't escape! In such a dilemma, he also had to find active solutions from the passive suffering.

During the day, it became a time for him to chat with his soldiers. Because he was easy-going and had no concept of hierarchical identity, gradually, more and more soldiers were willing to take the initiative to chat with him. Finally, at dawn, a large number of idle soldiers gathered around the stage and listened to Zhang Zhou's boasting?, Tell a story!

"... the scholar met the little lady that night, but because of the Taoist's warning, he was wary and refused to make out with her..."

Zhang Zhou didn't dare to say anything else, but he remembered a lot of Liaozhai and gossip. Even if he didn't agree with the original work, he was allowed to talk casually. No one would trouble his copyright. Moreover, it was the most important to make these soldiers listen with interest and reduce their pressure and hunger!

"Alas! What a pity! Even if I knew she was a female ghost, I would have to be warm..." someone laughed.

Zhang Zhou was never angry with this succession, but encouraged it very much. This can better set off the atmosphere.

"Pull it down, Liu Dashui, you look bad, and the female ghost scared you away!" someone answered.

"Hahaha, yes!" someone echoed, causing laughter in the audience.

"Liu Dashui, don't listen to them killing you. As long as you take more baths, know how to clean up yourself and make some contributions, the general promises to find you a daughter-in-law and annoy them!" Zhang Zhou also interrupted.

"Hey, general, what you said is true?"

"It's true! As long as you're good at work and can be a captain of school Wu, the general will fulfill his promise 100%..."

"Liu Dashui, it's OK for you to scare female ghosts. You want to kill the enemy and do meritorious deeds. Can you use your two brushes?"

"Hey! Don't take me, I can show you grandchildren!"

"What if you dare not?"

"I dare not, just call your grandpa!"

……

Zhang Zhou finally had a dry mouth and came to the end of the song.

"Well, well, that's the end of the story today! If you want to hear it, let's continue tomorrow, but if anyone dares to escape and join the fun, don't let me catch it!"

In the midst of joy, the crowd dispersed slowly. Zhang Zhou feels that this kind of entertainment can effectively optimistic the mentality of officers and soldiers and is of great help to improve morale. Although it was hard to avoid dry mouth the day before, it feels much more comfortable!

"Look at you all day long, just laughing with them. You don't look like a general!"

Yan Xinxin whispered reproach and handed him a bowl of hot soup. This hot soup is the treatment of the whole army. It is added with a lot of Chinese herbal medicine, which has the effect of expelling cold. Now Zhang Zhou has no shortage of top healing and nourishing pills, but he will never refuse to share joys and sorrows with everyone.

Zhang Zhou took the bowl and looked at Yan Xinxin with a playful smile. Instead of answering her rebuke, he deliberately said, "girl, do you want to make a double match with the book, or do you want to go back to the mountain with me and be a stronghold lady?"

"No shape!" Yan Xin gave him a coquettish stare, and then whispered, "lady YaZhai is the treatment of drinking northwest wind?"

"How is that possible? When you rob the silver, I promise you to eat pork every day!"

"Fuck off! Who eats pork with you all day..."

"Cut, don't you see? I'm not sure one day, pigs can become a symbol of wealth."

The unintentional joke made Zhang Zhou suddenly think of "ham sausage". This thing should not be difficult to operate, and it is definitely a good business to make money.

Yan Xin looked at his eyes and thought he was greedy, which gave birth to a bit of heartache.

"Don't think about it. When things are over, I'll cook myself and let you eat enough!"

Zhang Zhou smiled and thought, "it's better to go to Chuang in person and let me eat enough!"

As a result, her eyes betrayed her ideas and she was almost punched down by Yan Xinxin.

……

"Have you touched the doorway now?"

"A little. It's very fast to learn this skill, but it's not easy to figure out the details, find out more mysteries and use it freely. However, it's much better than the one we've experienced before. Take your time, it's not done overnight!"

Zhang Zhou now doesn't hide his "privacy" from Yan Xinxin.

He doesn't have a deep understanding of the details of magic skills, especially when it is used to regulate breath, it's difficult to deal with priorities freely. If he doesn't have a dark vision at night, his body will be noticed!

"I've observed that the Qi engine in your body comes and goes too fast. It's definitely different from other skills. You should be patient yourself. Maybe you can practice and master more in a short time!"

Zhang Zhou stared at her face with a smile in the light of the fire. This time, it was not as naked as before, but seemed to see something wonderful and said nothing.

"What are you looking at?"

Yan Xinxin raised her hand shyly to cover her face. But Zhang Zhou took down his hand gently.

"You are beautiful and beautiful. I like watching it. I want to see it all my life!"

Yan Xinxin bit her lips gently, trying to get rid of his hand, but she couldn't make the strength she deserved.

"Let others see..."

Zhang Zhou did not let go, but looked up and said, "look, how beautiful the moon is!"

Although the moonlight on Beiguan is bright and charming. Yan Xinxin looked at it, and her emotions also gave birth to some palpitations.

"Shall I sing you a song?"

"Hum, everyone has a song!" Yan Xin whispered bitterly, obviously knowing a lot of inside information.

"... I admit it was the moon..."

With the moonlight at the right time, holding Yan Xinxin's hand, Zhang Zhou sang passionately

Chengguan is quiet, a song is long!

……

On the 17th day, some people who have adapted to the rhythm are better, but the war horse can't stand it. Without enough forage, it will not only lead to a sharp decline in physical fitness, but also can't resist the cold. The war horse has died of cold and hunger!

Although there are 8000 cavalry in Beiguan, there are only more than 3000 war horses, which is the most basic quantity to ensure the use of Rangers. If this situation continues, I don't know how many horses will be left when the grain and grass are delivered!

For jubeiguan, the patrol without a Ranger is like a naked daughter-in-law. Let Beiyan's Ranger infiltrate and spy, and the consequences are extremely terrible.

"Forage has always been supplied in a fixed proportion to grain. If it is supplied at a constant rate, the forage will be completely exhausted in a few days. At that time, the result will be worse than now!" the Quartermaster in charge of forage is also helpless.

"There is no sign that the weather is getting warmer now. According to the speed of snow removal and road opening, it will not be opened until 20 days at the fastest. It will be too late to transport grain and grass again!"

The person in charge of clearing the snow and opening the way has done his best, but the progress is not optimistic.

"Hu Ju Guan replied. I'm afraid I can't help with food and grass. The heavy snow covered the whole Longzhou. It's said that it was very difficult there!"

Although Beiguan city has many people, the most magnificent city in Longzhou is Huju pass, with more than 40000 people, which consumes more; Zhang Shuhe's cavalry camp, not to mention, in short, it's hard for everyone at present.

After listening to these reports, Zhang Zhou frowned. As the saying goes: there is no way for people! But where is the road?

"You all go down first! If there are any arrangements, we will inform you in time."

Yan Xinxin saw that Zhang Zhou couldn't think of a way now, so he made a sound and retired the people.

Since he gradually mastered the method of magic skill cultivation, Zhang Zhou continued to live in this mode of eating and drinking less, and there was no problem for a few months. However, he is not alone now. He is still tied with tens of thousands of soldiers and thousands of horses. The responsibility of the whole city is on his shoulders.

In this case, he can't find any reference, so he can only rely on his own brain.

"Don't worry. If you really can't think of a way, you'll do your best. I believe no one will blame you!" Yan Xinxin comforted.

"But I will blame myself. If I read more books when I was a child, I might think of a good way!"

When Zhang Zhou said that he was a child, naturally he did not mean this world.

"I think those who have read books all their life may not be comparable to you!"

"It's all my opportunism and cleverness. I'm quick and eager to learn. I'm not even a scum in front of those people!"

Yan Xinxin is like what you say about you and I'm only responsible for worship.

"Then I don't know. I only know that no one is better than you!"

Zhang Zhou smiled.

"Girl, you are poisoned by love!"

"I'd like to, but you can't control it!" Yan Xinxin, on the one hand, hopes to make Zhang Zhou feel better. On the other hand, she doesn't refuse this kind of "flirting" communication.

When the two whispered, Zhang Zhou's eyes suddenly stopped under a wall in the distance. Under the city wall, there was a pile of snow cleared from the city. It was as high as two people. It was like leaning against the city wall and building a wide and thick inner wall.

Zhang Zhou stared for a long time and suddenly patted his thigh!

"Yes! There's a way!"

"What way?" Yan Xin asked.

"Of course, it's a way to keep the horses from freezing!"

……

In only one day, under the personal leadership of Zhang Zhou, the soldiers of the whole city began to dig hundreds of snow holes from the snowdrift relying on the city wall.

Things have priorities, and Zhang Zhou will not blindly choose to stick to the rules. Of course, no one cares about his "absence without permission" at this time.

Except for a dozen holes, which were dug and collapsed due to improper force, the quality of others can basically pass the test. The temperature in the snow cave is much warmer than that in the horse, especially when the wind blows, the thermal insulation effect is more obvious.

In order to ensure that the snow body is stronger and safer, cold water was used to pour outside. After some operation, a large area of ice and jade carving beauty appeared in jubeiguan.

Although the forage problem could not be solved, at least the problem of cold horses was solved. Even some soldiers who were afraid of the cold learned to live in the snow cave to have a rest!

Looking at the thin but cheerful sergeants, Zhang Zhou was also very happy, and even made a big snowman for Yan Xinxin.

As cheerful as a lark, Zhang Zhou's art level is really a bit of a shock. Zhang boat has made persistent efforts, and has made a two women's cheering for the Wutong, and even promoted the mood of the soldiers in their hard work.

Zhang Zhou simply announced that a bonfire party would be held in the evening. The program was very monotonous. The soldiers offered themselves. He sang the most popular "laughing in the Jianghu" and "laughing in the world of mortals" in Tang Dynasty, and the most enthusiastic emotion was a sword dance performed by Yan Xinxin!

Wutong did not know where to find a Pipa and play the accompaniment.

Under the bright moon, in the city pass, beside the campfire and among thousands of people, the strings and rhymes are around. The Yan in armor is as beautiful as his heart!

"When I was drunk, I looked at the sword with a lamp, and dreamed of blowing back to camp.

Eight hundred miles of the city pass is burning, fifty strings turn over the sound outside the Great Wall, and soldiers are ordered on the battlefield at night!

The horse is like a dragon, the bow is like a thunderbolt, and the string is startled! It has finished the king's affairs in the world, won the name behind him, and the heart and the bright moon rise! "

Zhang Zhou was not stingy and offered the poems at the bottom of the box. Yan Xinxin has become the hostess of this poem!

Finally, almost everyone sang "loyalty to serve the country" with Zhang Zhou. That night, there was no wine, but many rough border army men were touched by the scenery and burst into tears!
